TEETH WITH GOALS

Monday, June 16, 2008

Hey we were looking at a local freebie magazine over the weekend and our dentist is on the back cover! Pretty funny.

I remember when we first moved here and he asked me what goals I had for my teeth. This was pressure. I have goals for so many parts of my life, but teeth were not one of them... I started to get paranoid, thinking, am I some sort of dental slacker for not having teeth goals? The only thing I could think was that I wanted to keep them as long as possible.

But as you can see, Dr. Galli has teeth goals for himself. They are as white as the sailboat in the background painting, and they are big enough to offset his forehead. Well, I suppose if your dentist has lousy teeth you should worry.

My first dentist in Chicago (Dr. Shoneberg - who I went to till he retired) had really normal teeth. They were not Dr. Galli celebrity teeth. They kind of overlapped and there wasn't all kind of crazy tooth whitening going on. And he would say things like "you don't have to floss all your teeth. Just the ones you want to keep."

Sigh. In many ways, I will always be a Midwesterner...

Actually, when I went to a fancy dentist in Cincinnati he asked the same thing! But that was because he wanted my goals to be "whiter, brighter and straighter," not just "still stuck in my gums when I'm 90." Your dentist needs to consider his hair goals - his looks very crunchy and poofy.

Dr. Rosen smelled like antiseptic. Dr. Galli smells like money.

He looks like he smells like Scope and Calvin Klein.
